Program Description

Pharmacists are frequently involved in the therapeutic management of chronic disease states, including type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians can help raise awareness of the potential benefits of integrated continuous glucose monitoring (iCGM) devices, assist with access, and optimize the use of this technology. The data from iCGM devices provide patients with diabetes with a glimpse of their glucose levels over a typical day, enabling health care providers and patients to identify possible issues that may necessitate modifications in their treatment plan or daily habits. Pharmacists can play an instrumental role in helping patients with diabetes understand their iCGM device and the information it provides by counseling them on how to apply the device, providing education on different features, and reviewing the information from the iCGM device. Included in this activity are counseling and device demonstration videos that offer important educational pearls to assist patients with diabetes with the appropriate use of iCGM devices.

Target audience: Retail pharmacists, health-system pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians
